For that matter, I wonder if it can be done not just with streaming but also with saved content...wonder if VLC or Gxine or mplayer and Puppy would work doing this...

I just am unsure about specifics on the display settings, wonder if it will automatically come up or if it takes some specific settings or other...Last edited by steve_s on Mon 03 Nov 2008, 12:15; edited 1 time in total

I have done it with the monitor out on my laptop hooked the the tv's monitor in.
I've been wanting to but haven't yet, hook up a permanent box to the tv and run it with tightvnc (or similar) thru my laptop. I don't see why it wouldn't work._________________trapster

To run puppy on a tv
first start up the xorg wizard, then
then select xorg
select screen size
then select "test"
then do the ctrl+Backspace
then select alternative drivers
then select Generic drivers
then select test
then do the ctrl+Backspace
then select next
and it should work
thats how I use it, all the time for about 2.5yrs now

Used s-video plug, then an audio plug (single from computer to double red/white for tv) for connections.

Puppy automatically went to the generic driver, but it looked pretty good, certainly not bad; watched movies on the external hard drive most of the weekend. Very cool!

FYI In 4.0 it seems gxine works better than vlc when using the tv as the monitor; not sure why that is, but it loaded better, etc. Barry did such a great job on gxine anyway that there is no problem with playing almost any format...
